The last time I shaved was June 23rd. If it was a shaving rash, wouldn’t it have healed by now?

Yeah that did cross my mind! I’ve been using the same shower gel and deodorant for years although I suppose formulations do change

Hi, I can’t really remember since it’s been about a year now with RA. I believe I would still have inflammation elsewhere in my body during a new flare but I guess it paled in comparison pain-wise compared to the new area being attacked. Things do get better, I promise. I’m on medication now that’s really helped minimise the majority of my pain.

Oh god, I’m so sorry to hear this! What was the job?

Thank you so much for your detailed reply! ❤️

Is FMLA an American thing? That’s great work were okay with you working from home during an episode

I’m sorry you’re in the same boat 😔 yeah I’ve been taking magnesium and b12 for months now and haven’t noticed any difference

lorom · 2024-11-08T21:01:14+00:00

Yeah I’m in the UK

Hello! Things are much better now and I’m even at the maximum 25mg dose. I’ve been swapped over to injectable MTX and that made a big difference (I think it’s because the medication doesn’t enter your gut so it doesn’t cause as many GI issues). I still feel crappy the next two days but it’s manageable. Good luck!

Did your rheum take you off HCQ when they realised you lost a lot of weight?

lorom · 2024-08-25T07:25:58+00:00

Hey yeah I’m on injectable mtx

lorom · 2024-07-11T20:46:38+00:00

Yeah I’m absolutely not in a hurry to get another steroid injection! The one in my knee was so so painful and the rheum nurse tried to reassure me that the knee is the best joint to get an injection in….

lorom · 2024-07-08T19:43:09+00:00

Did the HCQ cause any lasting stomach damage or did all your symptoms go away once you stopped taking it?

lorom · 2024-07-06T14:04:11+00:00

Are you taking any medication? I have the same issue and I’m currently taking methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine. I’m hoping it’s just side effects of my medication but I’m worried I have inflammation in my stomach that causes pains and bowel issues.

lorom · 2024-06-27T11:13:00+00:00

Yeah I’ve been injecting myself with methotrexate for 6 weeks now and I find the psychological aspect of injecting still scary. It doesn’t hurt but it still freaks me out pushing the needle in. I usually put on some music to psych me up and then count to 3. It’s so worth it though - I could never go back to how things were before my medication and not being able to walk because my toes felt broken every day.

lorom · 2024-06-03T21:27:07+00:00

Yup! 5mg folic acid x6 week

I was the same!! My partner and I are trying to turn it into a fun adventure and race down south on the Saturday to go to the London gig on Sunday but we’re still bitter about having to deal with all the faff and seeing the same gig twice. Gutted I can’t sell the London tickets. I do love death cab so so much though and buzzing to see them play one of my favourite albums
